Autonomic nerve disorders and anxiety are one of the causes of high blood pressure. Other factors may also cause high blood pressure.

Can autonomic nervous disorders or anxiety cause high blood pressure

Autonomic nerve disorders are a syndrome of visceral dysfunction, including abnormalities in the circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, etc. Blood pressure may rise when autonomic nerve disorders cause an increase in heart load. In addition, autonomic nervous disorders can lead to increased sympathetic excitability, which can further exacerbate high blood pressure.

Anxiety is a common psychological disorder that can also lead to high blood pressure. When people are anxious, levels of adrenaline and other stress hormones are released in the body, causing a faster heart rate, vasoconstriction, and increased blood pressure. Chronic anxiety can also lead to neurotransmitter imbalances, further affecting cardiovascular health and exacerbating hypertension.

Hypertension can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, lifestyle, etc. Plant nerve disorders and anxiety are just two of the possible factors. If elevated blood pressure persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention and receive diagnosis and treatment from a professional doctor.
